I have quite a good knowledge of movies; it is one of the best activities to do when high. I was just wondering though if there where any black comedies that I have not come across. They don’t have to been recently produced; films such as Dr Strangelove are still classical. Other type of films that I love are films of the ‘believable’ occult, examples that would spring to mind are films such as the Omen and Rosemary’s Baby I would also appreciate to hear of decent Japanese films on the lines of Audition (which was mind bending).

The Cookout is pretty funny. How High is great. Are we there yet? looks pretty funny. Harold and Kumar isn't really black comedy but its funny as hell. White Chicks is hilarious. And Dave Chapelle is in Half Baked. That's about all I can think of right now.

As Weedguru Funk Doctor clarified what black comedy wasn’t, I will try to explain what is. A black comedy film is a movie that would mock serious topics such as death and religion and makes fun out of organised, logical aspects of our everyday existence. It is often morbid and grotesque. Hence that is why it is known as black comedy. So if anybody has any films that would fall under that category in their collection please recommend them to me.
